Look at that. Why is it that I seem to be posting only once a week? I mean, yeesh, I'm not TRYING to post once a week. Seems odd that only once a week I come up with something worth talking about for a blog article. I couldn't decide whether or not to make the blog article more Lara orientated, or more "OMG!! I GOT 400 GAMES! I PWN YOU ALL!" orientated. Hmm.... Well, hot Lara... or brag-oh-fun...
I know! We mix the two! What could go wrong, outside of the title? =P
Well, here I am, at the 400 game landmark. Actually, I surpassed it already, with Tomb Raider: Legend, my most recent game, being number 402. While my 400th game, MLB 2K6 really wasn't what I was hoping it would be, as I didn't buy it myself (but it's part of MY Xbox collection), I guess it does kind of symbolize my drive for gaming, or collecting more games. While a certain game may suit my needs, more or less depending on how good it is, it never is enough to hold me over for a long time, as I always want more. 
The 400th game I really wanted was Comix Zone, a Genesis game released in 1995 that I've been wanting for quite some time now, but the only option I have for getting the game is getting it on Ebay, so it slipped by the radar this time. After MLB 2K6, I got Splinter Cell for Xbox for a measly $3 (my 40th Xbox game, btw), and Tomb Raider: Legend just... 2 days ago (my 50th PC game =P). Now, for the heck of it, I'm going to list the consoles I have, and how many games I have for each one, to give you perspective on what my collection looks like. Yeah, I know you're too lazy to click on a tab. =P (according to Gamespot's database.)

Yeah, I had to add all those review scores up by myself. That was fun. But hey, everyone likes statistics, right?
Anyways, what about Lara Croft now?
Well, as you can see, I changed my avatar to a Lara one. Does that mean I might change my whole profile look to something more hot and sexy (Lara Croft, you dopes), or is it just there because I've been playing Tomb Raider: Legend?
Well, I have been playing a lot of Tomb Raider: Legend, and all I can say is, "buy it." It is one heck of a game, even if it's shorter then Conker. Considering I've hated the other Tomb Raiders 
beforehand, this game is a breath of fresh air. I've never cared for the movies, (Angelina Jolie just DOES NOT fit the part of Lara Croft, dammit!) and the games, dating back to the first were drab and boring. It does prove a point though. Make a game with Prince of Persia-esque gameplay, and it's destined to be good, as long as you avoid the damn auto-defense activation puzzle in Sands of Time... boy that was bad. Hope the almost certain sequel gets a tad bit more difficult, as it will certainly be a blast to play.
What do you know?! An article, AND a review about the game in thesame blog post! Well, there IS this thing going on about "win 1000 Best Buy dollars for a review" thing going on for the Tomb Raider: Legend game, so I decided it would be best to make the review now. Too bad I forgot to put "Gamespot and Airforce rule!" all over them, as that would almost assure victory. =P
Tomb Raider: Legend (PC): (8.4/10) Lara Croft finally returns to her former glory in a game that's fun; but ends a bit too quickly.
Oh... uhm, Tailman Team. Right. Well, It's been slow. I think I might move to Sonic Strike's server soon, at least until things at Sonic United are fixed, whenever that will be. I haven't really been thinking of Tailman Team a whole lot lately, as it's the end of the semester, and I'm up to my neck in school work. When the semester comes to a close, I'll have plenty of time to worry about everything Tailman Team.
